• Sheng Qi (favorable energy) that bring in positive vibes and good things in life.
• Sha Qi (unfavorable energy) that brings negative energy to your house.

A poison arrow is being defined as one of the Sha Qi in the form of concentrated energy that arises from sharp objects that are pointing directly towards any part of your house and body.
